　　体裁：记叙文　话题：森林警察　词数：338　时间：5′

　　Prince William kept the best for the last.After two days of his visit，his third and final day of activities in China included delivering a basket of carrots to a 13－year－old Asian elephant.In Yunnan Province，the prince heard about the dangers to China's remaining 250 wild elephants.He also heard of the story of Chang Zongbo，a forestry policeman，who has spent his life trying to protect what remains of Yunnan' s rainforest and its wildlife including elephants.

　　For 27 years，Chang Zongbo has climbed every one of the mountains，hunting poachers (偷猎者)．“We go for days，following the poachers and then waiting till they' re sound asleep late at night.That's the best time to arrest (逮捕) them，” he says.Killing an elephant carries the death penalty (死刑) in China，a powerful reason for the poacher to resist arrest.And that has worked.The combination of public education and fear of the death penalty means that China is one of the safest places for an elephant these days.

　　The major problem in China is the disappearing forest.Their habitats were surrounded by natural forest.Now the habitats are islands，completely cut off from each other by farms.Farmers build a wall to protect the people from the elephants.The elephants break it and walk into farms and villages.They eat up bananas.Sometimes they kill farmers.

　　Mr.Chang is here to protect the elephants but he's also sympathetic (同情心)to the sufferings of the farmers.He is doing what he can to prevent elephants from damaging crops and lives.

　　Before ending my interview，he tells me，“Every little part of the forest，I work to save it.Every elephant，I work to save it.So when I look my grandchildren in the eye，I can tell them I have done my best.” It's a message Prince William would echo.

　　children

　　in Bangladesh died last year after being given acetaminophen (醋氨酚)．The medications contained ingredients that looked，smelled and tasted like the real thing.The medicine was produced by a local drug company that used a dangerous substitute to save money.

　　The problem of counterfeit medicines is especially serious in Africa，Asia and Latin America.The WHO estimates that up to thirty percent of medicines on sale in many of those countries are counterfeits.The problem is less widespread among industrialized countries.The WHO says counterfeits make up less than one percent of the illegal drug market in countries like the United States，Canada，Japan，and New Zealand.

　　But the agency also says as much as fifty percent of the medicine sold on the Internet is counterfeit.

　　Much is being done to fight counterfeit drugs.Several companies are developing ways to make counterfeits easier to identify (鉴定)．And there are existing methods，like a machine that can quickly identify chemicals in pills to confirm if the pills are real.Other ideas include things like special tracking(跟踪) codes for drug packages.People could send a text message with the code and get a message back，which proves that what they bought is listed in a database.Some drug makers and other companies put three－dimensional images called holograms(全息图)on their products as a security device.
